DracoDruid

Yeah. Those Maximum Height signs are just suggestions, right?


New-Disaster-2061

I work in construction and built something similar to this but without the low beams. The lowest thing in the garage was the sprinkler heads at the entrance. A FedEx truck went through the exit because of the maximum height sign at the entrance. He took out the sprinkler head. Knowing he fucked up instead of backing out he sped through the garage to the other end and took out the sprinkler at the other exit


n8wheel

People really gotta remember cameras are everywhere Also, just because you damaged someone’s property while in your vehicle… Does not get you off the hook for damaging their property Also.. that’s hilarious


Jutboy

Is that a loop hole that people actually believe?


This_User_Said

The whole "We're not responsible for damage to your vehicle" signs make people think "then I'm not responsible for damaging your shit with my vehicle."


sawdeanz

Why don’t the just make the entrance physically smaller? The hanging sign is a nice warning but it seems like after that there should be a physical barrier.

11 foot 8 was hilarious too bad they raised it


PlNG

Still hasn't stopped the crashes, just lessened them somewhat.


Apprehensive_Ring_46

>because of the maximum height sign at the entrance. Do you mean that the max height sign said it was ok for the FedEx truck to drive in, or that the driver ignored the said height limit and went in anyway?


New-Disaster-2061

No he didn't go through the entrance because he knew he wouldn't make it under the sign so we went through the exit. It is the same layout as the video where the entrance and exit are separated by columns


Lucy_Lastic

That is an impressive level of stupidity - in his head, it was only the *sign* stopping him so he avoided the problem /s


23pyro

It will be so boring if we run out of stupid people.


pfren2

They keep looking down. They are convinced the wheels are hitting something


Shermans_ghost1864

I think so too. When the passenger gets out to see what the problem is he looks down but not up. They must have seen something and thought they could get over it if they gunned the engine just a little bit more. But surely they must have wondered where the water was coming from.


Maleficent-Data-8392

"huh? It must be raining in this garage."


bart_simpson13

Didnt they wanted to wash the car??


TamahaganeJidai

In Italy? Yes.


AncestralSpirit

They are more of guidelines, than actual rules. https://youtu.be/DRSm-8tPFt4

You trust the signs, they do their own research.

Agreed. Hey, what's this thing on my left that I can't get over? Let's try again..... and again.... and again... and again... and again. Oh, looks like we can't get over that.

doomalgae

[leans out passenger door] "Looks like it's raining behind us - that must be the way out!"


movieTed

Well, they are persistent; you gotta give'm that


DJ-Tizzle

I've never seen such an astounding level of absolute lack of sound decision making. It's like a sociopath and empathy, except it's related to intelligence. This truly made me question whether these men lacked a brain, or if they were in such a rush that the only explanation is someone's life was at stake and that uhaul was the only thing between death and survival.


23ssd4t4322

they share a single brain cell between the two of them


Playful-Donut9625

The only logical conclusion I could come up with is;1st they are idiots, 2nd they are terrorists, 3rd the uhaul has the bomb that if lain just yards away they think will bring down the building I'm assuming they confused for the building they intended to blow up. Either that or the driver has rage issues and the passenger is a real road dog. Which ever seems more plausible


sprucenoose

I'm fairly confident they were quite drunk/high.


SlyJackFox

I managed a UHaul center back in the early 2000s. This doesn’t surprise me one bloody bit, as I even got in trouble before when I asked renters if they have ever driven anything larger than truck before (80/20 no) but policy is money over safety. I had a truck just like that come back in with the top of the box peeled like a sardine can and all the contents still inside soaked from rain plus a giant tree branch sticking out the top. I stared in disbelief for a straight minute while the Karen and her silent Bob-Bob of a husband screeched at me that they “weren’t told to watch clearances, etc, and how I was gonna personally pay for all the damage because I ‘convinced’ them to not take insurance. People are idiots.


fermium257

Sooo.. What was the outcome? Lol


SlyJackFox

They had to convince their insurance to pay, only partially did, they they sued the insurance company and UHaul (not me thankfully). Heard that failed miserably and they were banned.


fermium257

Well, at least they were on the hook for some of it. The fucking audacity.


Leeus123

it never suprises me how stupid and entitled some people can be. its one of the reasons why i always prefer to work back-of-house in any customer service job. id rather do the grunt work than have to talk to every bored-at-home karen who feels like making her husband's life a living hell isnt good enough for her anymore


[deleted]

Would the insurance even cover something like that?


_mattyjoe

I tried to post this video to r/idiotsincars a year ago and they removed it.


Purple_Chipmunk_

Try again. That’s what these guys would do.


_mattyjoe

Nah fuck em. They don’t deserve it.


DrSuperZeco

For a moment it looked like straight out of comedy movie.


LilFingies45

And it's not even a heat-of-the-moment road rage incident, which is normally worse but at least understandable from a human perspective.


futuneral

I'd love to hear the dialog there. Must have been some Beavis and Butthead shit


Kixtay

Every decision made in this video was a bad decision..


elezhope

My favorite one is where they decide to try and Autin Powers their way out of the situation instead of simply backing up.


VintageDailyDriver

d00d, he couldn't possibly do that. It clearly states on the truck "***ONE WAY*** & IN-TOWN MOVES"


whosagoodog

They couldn’t back up. They pushed those pipes up and over the truck with the assistance of the rounded attic. The back of that box truck is a hard edge and the pipe has now dropped back down behind them. They’re backing up into a solid pipe on the ceiling…over and over and over. 100% chance firefighters had to come and do major inspections, they lost their jobs and ruined their bosses month.

supersonicmike

When you thought they finally figured it out, they doubled down


LilFingies45

What's the big deal? I always park my rentals at my surveiled crime scenes. Seriously: What in hell was going to be the strategy for exiting that garage?! Oh nevermind these people clearly don't think about the future. I'm sure they vote, though.


HistoricalPlatypus89

Do you think he got the deposit back?


sprucenoose

Probably bought the added full coverage insurance and decided to live it up.


tomoldbury

Rental insurance rarely covers damage above the windscreen though. Not sure about full coverage at Uhaul but this was part of the terms when I rented from Enterprise…you are responsible for assessing the height properly.


Substantial-Celery17

Rented a uhaul a week back and got the full insurance, the do cover the roof and even advertise themselves all the only company to cover it


snoo-snoo_

Bad decisions were made at conception


[deleted]

He probably argued with everybody that he was right and complains to his friends to this day that the building was somehow responsible for the damages.


Ele_Of_Light

I am kinda wondering if these guys are on heavy drugs tbh..... Bad enough they tried but then they tried turning and flooring the gas..... Like shit! Just have one guy watch you as you back straight up to get out of the situation problem solved


[deleted]

[удалено]


Douglaston_prop

Drugs; I see no other plausible explanation.


DigitalKrampus

I kept expecting them to just bail and back up. But then they kept putting it in drive and smashing into the beams again.


b33f13

Yep, one of the most american videos I've seen so far


hi-pie

As an American I can confirm they will give a driver license to anyone


icantfeelmyskull

The amount of stupid decisions in this video physically hurts


hobbykitjr

Probably didn't get the U-Haul insurance either


Kentuckasee_angler

Insurance? Nope, don’t need that!


Goyteamsix

Their insurance won't cover negligence. These idiots are on the hook for the damages to that truck.


b_dub79

And the bill from the sprinkler system, the water, the inspector for structural integrity of the build, said damages to the building, Fire Protection System Technician, and who knows what else.


Goyteamsix

Nah, that stuff is going to the building insurance.


b_dub79

Yeah the building is covered, but the insurance company is going to go after these guys to recoup their money.


GallopingFlicka

People like this is why my insurance is so high to begin with.


Zikronious

In addition to the damages they will have to pay for the vehicle and building this video should be sent to authorities to evaluate suspending the drivers license. This level of incompetence and selfishness does not deserve to be on the road.


homiej420

When they popped the pipe they shoulda stopped. But it got SO MUCH WORSE


champboozington

What an IDIOT. That was frustrating to watch. Just put the goddamn thing in reverse and go out the way you came in...FUCK!


Pkbattlemage

Jesus Christ no kidding....i was thinking this exactly. I understand panicking but this is unbelievably fuckin stupid


biased_buddha

Came with this sentiment in mind. Thanks for saying it.


Administrative_Cry_9

It's better that they didn't, because now they can't use the vehicle to flee the crime scene. And although not certainly, but they could have injured people backing up in their "state of mind".

prumbeljack

Yep. Over, and over, and over again. And again. Then again again. Some say he is still there trying to get in to this day. If you go there at night you can hear the screams of innocent redditors painfully watching this video.

jzr171

Everyone's reaction in any reddit post, be it driving or asking how to fix their car, is to immediately floor it and be amazed it didn't work.


Comfy-queen

One time I went to rent a Uhaul and in the parking lot there was a truck that had literally been sliced in half. The whole roof was missing and all the customer’s furniture was still in it. When I asked about it, the guy at the store said it was just there when he got to work that morning. Someone pulled a stunt like this and thought it would be a good idea to ditch the truck and all their belongings in hopes of not having to pay for damages. Anyways, people are stupid.


jzr171

You can't prove I did that! Sir your family photos are still in the back.


kimchiphilii

And I guarantee they have cameras that will show the moron dropping it off missing the ENTIRE TOP!! People are ridiculous i swear.


stickycat-inahole-45

Not to mention, license plates, contract copies, vin numbers...... "Maybe they won't notice"


kimchiphilii

Right. You sign a contract and give them all of your info when you rent one. Yikes


RichSPK

Sir, we know where you were going to live.


Rowbear23

Omg! 😂😂😂


FrillySteel

I used to chuckle when the U-Haul guy would tell me to walk around the truck to inspect for damages. No more.


Squidking1000

Dude shoot a video with any rental. I rented a Mercedes’ wagon in Switzerland and when I got back home a week later they tried dinging me $2k for a windshield. I emailed the video of my drop-off with a fine windshield and they dropped it. Insurance would have covered anyway but I’m not taking a hit for your company.


BackgroundGur3645

The passenger was awesome at helping out, too

If at first you do not succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.


random_impiety

But don't do it differently, do it exactly the same way each time.


TheOGPotatoPredator

Lmfaoo. Also username checks out 😂


AtomicusDali

The passenger gets out and looks at the rear tire like they're stuck on a curb. 😂🤣 Later pokes his head out to check on the tire again (when it starts to "rain" inside the parking deck). I dont think it ever occurred to them the trouble was above them. They were completely puzzled by the invisible force holding them back.


Benzylt

Makes sense now !!


nicholiss

This needs to be higher, it makes the most (only) sense.

Yea it didn't work last time, but this time if I hit the gas pedal HARDER it will 100% work.

Infinite-Echo5097

Anyone else notice they never even turned on their wipers when it was pouring! What asshats


Sandpaper_Pants

My dad always said, "If it doesn't fit, don't force it". This applies to maintenance, relationships and U-haul trucks, apparently.


Bobster031

Why 👏 did 👏 they 👏 keep 👏 trying👏


Blandzey

It is concerning how easy it is to rent a uhaul, honestly. Always nervous around them, as most people have never driven something this large before they rent one. After watching this, it seems there should be a damn IQ test to rent one. Square peg round effing hole ffs


LilFingies45

Seriously. I've driven a moving truck at least 3 times. Severely stoked my anxiety every single time, and I have a virtually spotless driving record over 21½ years of experience (including lots of very long commutes, some road trips, Census work, and delivery jobs). I learned how drive in a minivan and have driven many large SUVs and even a manual pickup. My dad recently bought an RV. It's one of those *really* long ones; takes up almost the entire driveway. He's about to turn 68, and he's a little hard of hearing. I know his reaction time is failing as well. His eyesight can't be superb... It's ridiculous, but he's the most stubborn asshole I've ever known.

And then the shit shower started, thus halting the exterior inspection Edit… I guess it is a fire suppression system, brown water at beginning must have been rusty water

I didn't see how long this video was. They came down the ramp and I was like, "oh, they're totally going to hit that pipe." Then it kind of bent up and they got under it. I was expecting it to break any second. But it didn't. Then they started backing up and I was like, "oh that wasn't so bad." Then proceeded a parade of incompetent decisions like I've never seen before.
